Sounds like a guinea pig for the "Little Lisper"-style Ruby book that
was being discussed a little while back.

Does anyone know if there are any "Ruby for Non-Programmers" books in
the works besides that one?  Has anyone considered doing a Ruby port of
"Thinking Like a Computer Scientist"?  I've only glanced over it, but it
seems like a good intro to programming; and it's already available in (I
think) C++, Java, and Python versions.
